Second rule of show-biz: "You gotta go away to come back."

That'd be great to see them in the Bang Bang:

Mystique is great, and Jennifer Lawrence is great, but a bored Jennifer Lawrence playing Mystique, not so much.

Ha-ha, "oh, those golden O's," but unless one of Dougie's five wives was also named Janey-E, then it has to be Dougie Jones who traded in his wedding band for that little arm-numbing, soul-damning green ring … not that Milford's not in the mix here somewhere.

Once he found out about the bounty and Ray getting locked up, I think he decided to go into the prison, because it was the only way to get at Ray, who probably put himself there thinking he'd be safe from Mr. C. But Mr. C really wants that information from Ray.

Yes, that, too, is possible. I'm assuming that Linda, the veteran at the New Fat Trout Trailer Park, who had to wait six weeks for a new wheelchair, is the other

Seems that way, or worse.

If Richard Horne is Audrey's child by Cooper's shadow, could the Giant's "Richard and Linda, two birds with one stone" imply that she gave birth to twins?

Sad as it is, if Cooper's doppelgänger is his "shadow self," i.e., a manifestation of the "unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not identify in itself," it makes perfect sense that Audrey and Diane would be targeted first, because the "good" Dale had repressed his strong attractions…

"The dog leg.
That dog had four legs.
One you found in my trunk.
The other three went out with the information you're thinking about right now."

I thought of Cooper's ''This must be where pies go when they die,'' after tasting his first bite of Huckleberry pie, and Major Briggs' vision of Bobby (in the White Lodge?), which is preceded by: "The huckleberries are particularly delicious today. Particularly fresh and delicious."

Too true, there's a method to his madness. Here be more clues to the big donut. It's as if Gordon wants Tammy to figure this all out without knowing too much.

I'd always thought that Doc Hayward had killed Horne that night when he smashed his head against the fireplace mantel. Ben even had a little cadaveric spasm (death twitch). So, I was surprised to see him alive in part one.

I just loved the look of pure bliss on Frank Truman's face as Hayward describes all this, both pleased that the ol' Doc remembers and at just how great it all sounds to him.

I loved the pained, but intense look on her face as Gordon plays [edit: what appears to be] childish games with her fingers.

"Hey! Has anybody seen Bing?"

Yes, Cooper's doppelgänger is his physical duplicate, but his mental "shadow self," or, basically, a manifestation of all the "dark" subconscious impulses that the "good Dale" suppressed. (These would include his attraction toward Audrey and Diane.) It seems that only one of the two Coopers can ultimately exist in…

Good catch. Doc Hayward confirming that he saw "Cooper" coming out of intensive care 25 years ago, where a badly injured Audrey lay in a coma, lends some further credence to the disturbed Richard Horne possibly being their progeny. If so, could Linda, the wheelchair-bound veteran at the Fat Trout we heard about last…
